Ruan Qingling said, "Okay, then I'll take a nap first."

She lay flat on her back and didn't move.

Song Shiting watched as she closed her eyes, his gaze fixed on Ruan Qingling's face.

Later, she silently closed her eyes.

However, Ruan Qingling really fell asleep instantly.

Song Shiting, however, was not sleepy at all.

His mind raced, completely confused about what was going on with him.

Does Ruan Qingling like him now or not?

Why doesn't she touch him at all?

Just then, Ruan Qingling, who was asleep, suddenly turned to her side.

Her face turned towards him.

Moreover, she actually put her hand on his stomach.

Song Shiting's body stiffened and stiffened again.

Her hands were very soft and gentle, and a touch of warmth lingered on her belly.

The surging blood that had just subsided seemed to ignite again.

But he couldn't move. He knew Ruan Qingling's sleeping habits; if he moved, she would definitely wake up.

So he could only keep his body stiff to maintain the position.

In the middle of the night, Song Shiting suddenly saw a faint light outside and immediately sat up.

Ruan Qingling opened her eyes instantly.

She asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Shiting said, "There's a bit of a situation."

This is his professional sensitivity.

I drew back the curtains, and there was fire coming from under the window.

Fortunately, it has just been discovered that the heat is not intense.

Song Shiting was about to fetch water to put out the fire when, just as it started, he poured the bucket of water from inside the house down, and the fire was extinguished immediately.

Ruan Qingling suddenly pulled the person away.

Song Shiting turned to look at her.

Ruan Qingling said, "Don't put it out yet, let's wait for the fire to burn brighter."

Anyway, she will never come back to this place again.

The room could still be saved if the fire is put out now, but she's unwilling to do so.

Song Shiting said, "Let's go out first."

Seeing him prepare to open the door, she heard Song Shiting say the next second, "The door won't open."

A cold light flashed in Ruan Qingling's eyes.

This means they've been detained by outsiders.

Ruan Qingling understood perfectly; everything had unfolded exactly as she had suspected.

Zhao Mei wanted to die.

Song Shiting said, "Hold Yaya tight."

He took out a military knife.

Ruan Qingling approached the window and smelled gasoline.

Is this because they're worried the fire isn't burning completely and they need to add more fuel to the fire?

A family of three!

Ruan Qingling's eyes were filled with coldness.

She wet the towel in the bucket and then made milk for Ya Ya.

Song Shiting tried the methods, but still couldn't open the door.

Ruan Qingling suddenly reached out and knocked on the door.

Simple and straightforward.

But no matter how much she called out, it was no use.

It's like nobody's home.

They were fine when they went to sleep last night, but now they're all at home.

Are they all out of the house now?

Ruan Qingling didn't believe it.

She carried her daughter and came up behind Song Shiting.

"If all else fails, just kick the door down."

They actually tried to play dirty tricks on her, so she just tore the house apart.

Song Shiting said, "Wait a little longer."

He took a wire out of his pocket and threaded it through the keyhole of the removed key.

There were two chopsticks stuck outside, preventing him from opening the door.

Ruan Qingling looked outside and said, "Don't stay too long. The thick smoke and heat are getting in, and I'm worried that Ya Ya won't be able to handle it."

Song Shiting didn't turn around, and said, "Take good care of Ya Ya."

Ruan Qingling replied, "Mm."

Soon, Song Shiting opened the door, and two chopsticks fell to the ground.

The house is very quiet; there's no one there.

But it's late at night, and none of them are there?

They had barely stepped out when flames burst through the walls of the room.

It's on fire!

They moved all their belongings into the living room.

Song Shiting looked at Ruan Qingling: "Get out?"

Ruan Qingling said, "Wait a little longer."

She looked around and said, "That wall is burned. Since everyone's gone, it's not good that the house isn't burned. Let's add more fire."

Song Shiting looked at Ruan Qingling.

Ruan Qingling winked at him and asked, "Isn't it good?"

Song Shiting nodded, then turned and went inside.

Ruan Qingling hugged Ya Ya tightly.

He wondered what kind of benefit would make Zhao Mei go to such lengths?

Would you rather lose your house than lose your life?

After all, even Ruan Dongxue wasn't there, which meant they had planned this all along.

Song Shiting came out of the room with his luggage.

She said, "Let's go outside."

But, unsurprisingly, something went wrong: the door was locked from the inside.

Ruan Qingling looked at Song Shiting.

Song Shiting said, "Wait for me, I'll go open the door."

Ruan Qingling nodded.

Fortunately, Song Shiting followed.

Otherwise, based on her understanding, she would never have imagined that Zhao Mei could be so inhumane.

Song Shiting smashed the window, went out through it, and then opened the door from the outside.

At this moment, the room where Ruan Qingling had just stayed was completely on fire.

Moreover, the fire quickly spread all the way to the living room.

Once Ruan Qingling was outside the door, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Fire! Fire!"

Song Shiting began searching for water to put out the fire.

Ruan Qingling found a piece of charcoal and smeared it on her face.

She ran to Song Shiting's side again.

He reached out and smeared it on his face.

Soft fingers touched his face.

He froze for a moment.

His eyes were fixed on Ruan Qingling.

Ruan Qingling said, "This is more like fleeing a disaster."

Looking at her slightly upturned lips and mischievous expression, Song Shiting suddenly wondered if Ya Ya would grow up to be like her mother.

But with a serious expression, he said, "Step back a little."

Ruan Qingling then took a step back while holding Ya Ya.

"Ah... what's going on?"

At Nguyen Thanh Linh's call, nearby residents came to help, and Nguyen Han Min and Zhao Mei returned.

When Zhao Mei saw the house engulfed in flames, her face froze.

"What happened?"

Ruan Hanmin, carrying Ruan Dongxue on his back, turned pale upon seeing the scene before him.

Ruan Dongxue was so frightened that she cried.

"My home..."

Neighbors who were helping shouted, "Stop crying! Put out the fire! Don't you want your homes anymore? I'm afraid your fire will spread to mine! Hurry up!"

Without saying a word, Nguyen Han Min rushed over to help put out the fire.

Aunt Liu asked Zhao Mei, "Why aren't you and your husband home so late at night?"

Zhao Mei said, "Dongxue had a stomachache, so we took her to see a doctor. We just got back."

She was indeed holding a bag in her hand, and the bag contained some Western medicine.

"This is truly a terrible thing."

Ruan Dongxue kept crying.

Zhao Mei's face was pale: "Stop crying. I'll take you out of here. We don't even have a home anymore."

Ruan Dongxue was too frightened to speak.

Ruan Qingling was watching Zhao Mei from behind.

At that time, there were no dedicated fire brigades established nationwide, and the people fighting the fire were public security fire police officers. It took an hour before a few people came to help put out the fire.

It took more than two hours of effort.

The fire was finally extinguished.

But this house is no longer worth looking at.

Two-thirds of it was burned.

Zhao Mei gritted her teeth in anger.

He looked as if he wanted to devour someone.

She glared fiercely at Ruan Qingling: "What happened last night? How did the fire suddenly start?"
